Humana Transforming Growth Factor-Beta in Cancer Therapy, Volume II: Cancer Treatment and Therapy (Cancer Drug Discovery and Development)

Transforming Growth Factor- ß in Cancer Therapy, Vols. 1 and 2, provides a compendium of findings about the role of transforming growth factor- ß (TGF- ß) in cancer treatment and therapy. The second volume, Cancer Treatment in Therapy, is divided into three parts. The companion volume details the role of TGF- ß on basic and clinical biology. Review From the reviews: "This volume … provide readers with a detailed account of the role of TGF-beta in the development of various cancers in numerous organs. … This will likely be of interest to those in the field as well as those who are new … . will be of interest to researchers at all levels. The book will likely attract new researchers and students interested in becoming engaged in new frontiers of cancer therapy. … This will be a great resource for researchers and clinicians … ." (James P Luyendyk, Doody’s Review Service, June, 2008) From the Back Cover Transforming Growth Factor-ß in Cancer Therapy, Volumes 1 and 2, provides a compendium of findings about the role of transforming growth factor-ß (TGF-ß) in cancer treatment and therapy. The second volume, Cancer Treatment and Therapy, is divided into three parts. Part I examines transforming growth factor-ß in developing and advanced cancers. Part II details transforming growth factor-ß in cancer treatment and therapy. Part III includes an investigation into the development of inhibitors of transforming growth factor-ß signaling for therapy. This volume’s companion, Basic and Clinical Biology, examines transforming growth factor-ß signaling in normal physiology, cancer pathobiology, normal and tumor biology, and inflammation and fibrosis. Together, Transforming Growth Factor-ß in Cancer Therapy, Volumes 1 and 2, provide researchers and clinicians with a comprehensive and cutting-edge reference for the findings about the role of transforming growth factor-ß in biology and cancer treatment.
